The communists: "Comrades and peasants, the PLA is here and we have rounded up the landlords! We are letting you decide what to do with them!"

The peasantry:

Communists and anarchists will spend all day talking about abstract concepts and structures like capitalism and the state, but willfully ignore the very real, tangible curse placed upon me by the foul necromancer

Something I always find bizarre is when people mention something along the lines of "You always act like your opinions are correct and everyone else is wrong" as like. A moral or personal flaw. Because like. I'm pretty sure that's just how opinions work.

girlhood is touching your necklace whenever you feel nervous

tbh it was pretty ballsy of Porter to call out Taylor Swift by name in his song all about how fake and toxic celeb/influencer culture is given how rabid her fans can be, but I'm kinda worried people are gonna think this was like, a fun reference and not him explicitly calling out the queen of making your identity your brand and selling it 24/7 until nothing of your true self remains like the TSwift comparison was On Purpose and not meant in a positive way at all

Transphobes make being trans sound so cool. Like trans men sound like they are possessed by the devil? That sounds AWSOME .

PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation

on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:

today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.

it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.

but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.

the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.

you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!

the type of person who at the same time reblogs posts about black blocs and protest security and police tactics and acab but also demands MLs to explain their revolutionary activities and alternatives to reformist actions must be endemic to sites like tumblr and Twitter. there is no other rational explanation but the latent influence of individualist moralistic posturing that used to be so popular. "how are YOU contributing" type of posts

even if we were firebombing supermarkets (not a real thing) we wouldn't fucking brag about it on tumblr.com

he isn't wrong lol

REMINDER TO NOT TALK TO THE GUARDIAN ABOUT DIY HRT IF ASKED ❗️❗️❗️

Susanna Rustin is a huge TERF too, and a quick search of her name on The Guardian brings up repeated proof.

Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.

The 300 or so arrests took place on Tuesday night at Grand Army Plaza, on the doorstep of Schumer’s Brooklyn residence, where thousands of mostly Jewish New Yorkers gathered for the seder, a ritual that marked the second night of the holiday celebrated as a festival of freedom by Jews worldwide.

The seder came just before the US Senate resoundingly passed a military package that includes $26bn for Israel.

everytime you bring up the hostility lesbian/bisexual/queer spaces have had to trans women there's a bunch of people who will attempt to play the terminology game and say well that's not what it means to be lgbtq!!! those people are doing it wrong! as though the objection is made at the ontological level rather than the historical. you just want to be good, endlessly unimpeachably good instead of actually engaging with the material conditions that make a community an unwelcoming space for a trans women. and im not even touching how much of even the academic construction of these ideas has historically been transmisogynist.

Hey everyone - Help a nursing student afford to graduate?

It's been fucking forever since I've touched this account, I know. My friend needs help, though, and we're at a point were we're using every avenue we can.

My friend Damien is almost done studying for his nursing degree at the University of New Mexico. He's less than a month away from graduation and the scholarship office decided to rip out his financial aid from under him. He's 8000$ short of being able to pay that last bit of tuition he needs and his licensing exams after graduation.

It's been his dream for years to become a nurse and work in the pediatric unit. He's disabled and spent a lot of time in the hospital growing up, and wants to help kids going through what he had to go through have an easier time. He's extremely passionate about this, and it would mean the world to both him and me to be able to get enough money to be able to pay this last bit of tuition. Anything helps. And if you can't donate, it'd mean the world to me if you could reblog and/or pass the link around.
